"When a program like Tennessee calls and coach Pruitt calls and invites you to speak here, it's an easy answer — it's yes," Vrabel said in a video Tennessee football posted on Twitter. "I've admired what he's done defensively through his time in the SEC. So he's going to have great things for this program. I'm excited for him. I've learned a lot. I've studied his defense. We were able to visit this morning, talked ball and talked players and how to make them better. I'm excited to be here. I'm looking forward to it."
